Welcome to week two of the 2016 summer body challenge! Nearly 50 BRCF / UNBTN athletes made the decision to take their nutrition and training to the next level over the next 12 weeks! Well done. Let's keep it going. We are now two weeks away from the 2016 CrossFit Open. All of our programming over the past several weeks and months is leading toward a strong peak for athletes that have remained true to the program. Now, two weeks out, we will focus on refining the skills required to succeed in the 2016 CrossFit Open. We will also continue our strength series with a taper on back squats. Our coaches will, throughout the week, challenge you with fire-breathing metcons. Above all else, the coaching staff will be reinforcing the importance of rep QUALITY this week (and beyond.) The amount of weight you lift is exponentially less important than the form you use when tackling the different movements you’ll see. Stay true to yourself and the results will be there. Let’s do this.

Quote of the week: “Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort.”

**Every time the barbell drops, perform X amount of burpees where X is the number of clean and jerks you have left. (Example: Kyle drops the bar after 15 unbroken clean and jerks. He then does 15 burpees. He then completes 5 additional, unbroken clean and jerks to arrive at a total of 20. He then completes 10 burpees. This format continues until 30 clean and jerks have been completed.

Partner Up. Predict how many unbroken double-unders or single unders you can complete within your level’s suggested range noted below. Be aggressive yet realistic. The goal is to gauge how many double unders you can comfortably do under pressure when they appear in the 2016 CrossFit Open.

Then switch. HOWEVER, if partner A fails to come within 3 reps of the predicted score, partner B will perform 10 burpees as a penalty. A single “false start” will be allowed. A false start is a fail within the first 8 reps.

(Example: Prior to his set, Murph predicts he will complete 70 unbroken double unders. He trips at rep 65. Pam will then complete 10 burpees as a penalty. Pam then predicts she will complete 80 unbroken double unders. She does not trip. No penalty burpees for Murph)

Complete three total rounds with separate predictions each round. Penalty burpees are done as soon as an athlete trips or stops jumping.
